First day fixing the cally and im f****d off with it already

Well guys had a few jobs to do on the cally today ,first thing was to straighten my front bumper up as
it was out the guide on the drivers side, I had a funny feeling tht it had been bumped before so i gets the bumper of
and :shock: the bumper bar was mangled on the passenger side !!!! So it has been bumped but nothing serious well
no serious structal damage anyway, but the bumper bar is goosed but i managed to get it straightened up enough to get
the bumper looking straight again i should have taken pics but i was mega ******* off so i forgot :oops: , then i noticed
tht the brackets on the drivers light were F****d and the knob before me has tried to catty, yes catty ! the brackets back 2getha ,if anything its not expensive for tiger seal !!! So by the time i had treid to sort aw these abortions of repairs i ran out of day light and couldnt get anything else done !!!!! Sorry for the long post but it just gets on my nerves when folk cant be bothered sorting cars right !!!! :axed: My next question is does anyone have a jerry can n matches ??? :evil: , Seriously now does anyone know if i can buy a new bumper bar as theyre only bolted on ?? and im
looking for new headlights along with everything else on my list :shock: Thanks for reading guys
